-Thank you to those who contributed to this project. I am a gardener and find the efforts of those who continue to beautify our landscape a step toward creating a sense of community. When we all experience and appreciate the gardens, we are together.

I no longer live in the area. I will miss the neighborhood (was in my home for 30 years) but alas it's time. You have done an incredible job. I loved being part of the group and appreciated all the hard work everyone put into the many various activities. Keep up the good work. Good Luck!

I GREW UP LIVING AT 1180 PENNFIELD. I WAS BORN IN 1945 WHEN MY FAMILY LIVED ON HELMSDALE RD OFF NOBLE RD. MY PARENTS BOUGHT 1180 IN 1949 & I LIVED THERE UNTIL 1972 WHEN I FINALLY HAD ENOUGH OF COLD/SNOW WEATHER. I ATTENDED NOBLE, MONTICELLO & HIEGHTS HIGH SCHOOLS. WHILE I PHYSICALLY LEFT PENNFIRELD, MY HEART STILL REMAINS THERE. I REALLY ENJOY MY VIRTUAL TRAVELS AROUND MY OLD HOME TOWN. MAY "GOD" RICHLY BLESS EACH OF YOU!!!

Just want you to know I sold almost everything at my sale this weekend. Not as many customers as in years past but because of the nobleneighbors event and my low pricing it turned out great. The weekend event was also a great time to re-connect with neighbors on the street!!

It is wonderful to see how this event has grown since its inception. Other places have SID’s and events for the commercial areas, but only in Noble is it a true neighborhood and community-building event. Congratulations!
~ a former resident responded to our latest email preparing for We Are Noble, May 2019
I tell people, "Noble is where the real people live." They face challenges by rolling up their sleeves and asking, "What can I do to make the neighborhood better?"
~ Cleveland Heights staff member, April 2019
I am so happy to read about all the incredible things Noble Neighbors is doing. I loved being involved with my neighborhood organization in Hartford before I had kids, and I am eager to get involved with Noble Neighbors when my kids graduate and I am not doing school volunteer work anymore! In the meantime, thanks so much for all your hard work. I have noticed a difference in the feel of the neighborhood over the last few years because of your work, and it makes me so happy to be living here!
~ Neighbor who is very active in school PTAs. Her work in the schools is critical to our growing success! Dec. 2018
There is no blueprint for what we're trying to do to transform this neighborhood. It's up to us to be creative.
~ Long time neighbor who is excited about the Noble Corridor Project, Nov. 2018
We lived on Montevista from '97 to 2013. Big place in my heart for that neighborhood. I am just blown away by the amazing community building you are doing.
~ Former resident who moved to another neighborhood in Cleveland Heights joined our email list, May 2018
The neighborhood looks terrific! I saw people at the library and a church on Noble. There are kids doing chalk drawings. It feels wonderful!
~ Former resident had moved out of town and returned to visit during We Are Noble 2018.
I wanted to formally introduce you to one of Cleveland Heights' strongest neighborhood groups: Noble Neighbors. Noble Neighbors is a collection of residents that advocate for the "Noble Neighborhood" in Cleveland Heights (i.e. north of Mayfield, and east of Taylor). They've exploded over the past few years and have brought significant attention to issues of housing, safety, and economic development in the northeast quadrant of Cleveland Heights.
~ This is how a CH City Council member described us to a political candidate, Jan. 2018
She wanted to introduce us because the Noble Neighbors is such an influential organization in the community.
~ A graduate student referred to a conversation with a city employee, December 2017
I wanted to let you know that friends who are renting on the other side of Cleveland Heights are actively looking to buy a house in the Noble neighborhood. Some of the factors in their decision are the quiet streets, community gardens, AND Noble Neighbors. They had checked out the NN website and were impressed.
~ Noble Neighbor who send us an email, October 2017
Thank you for doing this. This was incredible. I feel so much more hopeful about the area now.
~ Participant in Envision a New Triangle District Workshop, July 2017
I love what you all are doing in Noble. It's so positive!
~ Cleveland Heights City Council Member, June 2017
Wow!
I was only able to get to the the police academy and Oxford's festival this weekend, but I had a great time at both places. I have lived in this neighborhood for a little over half my life, and I have never been in the police academy building! How cool was that? It was great to run into old friends and make some new ones at the Oxford festival. I also loved driving down Noble Road, seeing people sitting in front of the library, and seeing all the tag sale signs. Thank you so much for all you did to help all the bright lights of our community shine today.
~ Resident who wrote us after We Are Noble on May 20, 2017
I've lived here my whole life, but I've never stopped to visit this. That's what's so good about this weekend. I get to see new things in my own neighborhood.
~ 27 year resident stopped in to see the garden at Noble Library during We Are Noble, May 20, 2017 as she was on her way to the Nepali hosted pot luck.
I am so in love with the Noble Neighbors meeting by the way. Brought tears to my eyes to see so many elders and individuals in the community coming together. Made me truly excited.
~PTA officer with an elementary school child, April 2017
Noble Neighbors is by far the most active community group in the city. They are doing incredible things in the Noble area.
~A community leader from another part of the city, March 2017
"Everyone at the PTA meeting is very excited!"
"Excited? YES!"
"So exciting!!! I volunteered for Friday!!!"
"This is beautiful! So excited!"
~ The latest organizational email for our May 2016 Noble Community Home & Yard Sale began, "I hope you're getting excited...!" These are a few of the responses.
I want to thank you for all the work you are doing. It is wonderful to see the signs for the yard sale all over the neighborhood - what a great reminder that there are people here who care! And thank you very, very much for your work on the Circle K issue. This makes me all the more grateful to those of you who are hard at work for our community. I so appreciate all you are doing!
~ South Noble area resident, early May 2016
Our pastor and I took a good look at your website, and would really like our church to be involved with the Noble Neighbors. You folks are doing a lot of good work that we'd love to be a part of. We are definitely going to become more involved in your organization. We are excited to partner with you!
~ Local church missions staff, Jan. 2016
I went to the Noble Neighbors website and was so impressed. I have never seen such a great website created by neighborhood folks filled with such wonderful and useful information. There are many large corporations that do not even have such impressive websites. So kudos to you and your neighbors.
~ Cleveland Neighborhood Progress staff member, Jan. 2016
My friends are surprised when they ask me where I am moving to and I tell them I'm moving six blocks away. "You mean you're staying in the same neighborhood?" they say. I tell them, "Of course! It's a great neighborhood!"
~ Retiree who is downsizing and is moving from her house of 40+ years to a condo nearby, Oct 2015
